The “farther” you store the archive from the original folders, the safer it will be in case of
data damage. For example, saving the archive to another hard disk will protect your data
if the primary disk is damaged, but won’t be useful if the computer is destroyed in a fire
or flood. Data saved to a network disk, ftp server or removable media will survive even if
all your local hard disks are down. You can also use Acronis Secure Zone (see details in
3.3 Acronis Secure Zone
) or Acronis Backup Server (see details in
3.5 Acronis Backup
Server
) for storing backups. In those cases, you need not provide the file name.
When backing up to Acronis Secure Zone, you have an option of dual destination backup.
If enabled, the program will automatically place a copy of your backup archives on a local
drive or network share as well as Acronis Secure Zone. See details in
6.3.12 Dual
destination backup
.
Dynamic volumes are fully supported as a backup destination place. Acronis True Image
Echo Enterprise Server can access backup archives, created on dynamic volumes, in
standalone (rescue) mode as well as under Windows control.
See notes and recommendations for using the FTP server in
1.4.2 Supported storage
media.
6. If your choice was not Acronis Backup Server, select whether you want to create a full,
incremental or differential backup. If you have not backed up the selected files/folders
yet, or the full archive seems too old to append incremental changes to it, choose full
backup. Otherwise it is recommended that you create an incremental or differential
backup (see
3.2 Full, incremental and differential backup
).
